Raiders

Raiders HC Rich Bisaccia said the team is constantly talking about how much to use QB Marcus Mariota in certain packages. However, he made it clear it’s exclusively as a changeup and that Derek Carr is their starting quarterback. 

“Again, there’s been conversation all the time about what’s the plan for Marcus and when he comes in and what exactly he can do with it,” Bisaccia said, via Pro Football Talk. “I don’t think we’re real excited about taking No. 4 [Carr] out from behind the center when he can be a productive player for us. And I thought yesterday he gave us a chance with some of the balls that he delivered to put us in position to score some points and we turned the ball over.

“I don’t ever think that one particular thing is going to move you in one direction or the other. So, we’d like to do a better job, really, in everything that we’re doing.”
